The big storyline was supposed to be Jamal Adams returning to play in New York, but it was Devon Witherspoon bringing the energy on Monday Night Football.
on Monday Night Football from MetLife Stadium, with a slow start by the Hawks giving way to a defensive performance for the ages while the offensive line did just enough to Geno Smith and Drew Lock protected.
As for how the snap counts broke down, the Seahawks saw just 22 snaps played by Week 1 starters on the offensive line at the position at which they lined up to open the season. With both starting tackles, Charles Cross and Abe Lucas, already out it was once again Stone Forsythe and Jake Curhan on the ends of the line. On the interior Damien Lewis and Phil Haynes both started, but left with injury.
On the defensive side of things, it was the already-battered-by-injuries secondary that was battered by injuries early. Losing Jamal Adams just nine snaps into the first possession by the Giants, the Seahawks turned to Mike Jackson, with Devon Witherspoon sliding into the slot and having himself a game. The simple fact that Jackson played 63 snaps and many, if not the majority of, Seahawks fans had no clue he had even been in the game shows how well he played.
